Back to School

Just starting to write this post reminds me of the film, "Billy Madison". Adam Sandler's character is waiting for the bus to take him to his first day of kindergarten and before the bus flies by to leave him standing there, lunchbox in hand, looking like an idiot, he begins to sing, "Back to school, back to school, I hope I don't look like a fool..".

Well, while sitting at work and feeling frustrated, I got a huge kick in the side of the head. Not a literal one but a mental one, mind you. "GO BACK TO SCHOOL! NOW!", the foot kicking my head screamed. So I recovered from the blow, thought about it, and made a very loose decision. I'm going back to school! A request for information from a college about a mile from home is on it's way. The school is a community college; very cheap, but has a wonderful two-year program in which you can complete all your general courses and they are all transferable to any MNSCU college. All of this for under (if tuition doesn't change too much) $7,000 TOTAL. Why didn't I do this to begin with?


I still have some of my college books, so I can study ahead and for the ACT I should re-take as well. My goal is to get a score of 25 within a year from now and then make my final college decision. Then it's loan time. ICK
